Albion season ticket holders will get the first chance to get their hands on FA Cup semi-final tickets when they go on sale on Thursday.
The Baggies have been given a 33,000 allocation for the clash with Portsmouth and they will go on sale on-line on Thursday.
The 24,000 season ticket holders, members and corporate customers will be guaranteed one ticket each with adult tickets priced at £55, £45, £35 and £25 and concession prices to be announced.
Seats will first go on sale via Albion’s new on-line ticketing service at www.tickets.wbafc.co.uk.
After the first four days of sale, the club will provide an 0121 telephone number for fans unable to access the internet and a separate 0121 number will also be set up for disabled supporters.
Once all bookings have been completed tickets will be posted by registered mail at a charge of £4.70. Collections in person will not be available.
Remaining tickets will then be sold by Ticketmaster, who will charge a postage and administration fee.
Those tickets will be available to all season ticket holders, members and fans registered on the club’s ticketing database who have attended at least five home games this season, plus current non season ticket holders who buy a season ticket for 2008/09 by the close of business on March 17.
They will be able to buy one ticket each.
Any tickets still remaining will then be sold by Ticketmaster to all supporters registered on the club’s database.
The Ticketmaster service is available around the clock and tickets will be posted by registered mail.
To book tickets via Ticketmaster supporters must have their membership number and postcode to hand.
Membership numbers can be found on supporters’ stilecards, membership cards or 2008/09 season ticket brochures.
Albion have urged all season ticket holders and members to sign up to the new on-line service and to familiarise themselves with the system now rather than waiting until Thursday.
All season ticket holders and members need to register with the new system to be able to purchase tickets, including those who registered with the previous system.
It will also provide the club with the option to allocate tickets based on loyalty points in the future and users will be able to keep count of the loyalty points they have accumulated.
Meanwhile, the club have put a block on new memberships for the rest of the season to protect existing members’ guarantees on Wembley tickets.
Tickets will be on sale on-line to season ticket holders from Thursday to Saturday and to season ticket holders and members on-line from Sunday to March 21.
They will be available by phone to season ticket holders from March 17-19 and to members on March 20 and 21.
From March 25-27 Ticketmaster, on 0844 847 2454, will sell tickets to season ticket holders, members and supporters on the Albion database who have been to five or more games.
And on March 28 and 29 any remaining tickets will go on sale to all other fans on the club’s database.

If this were a wolves article we’d all be moaning about the cost of registered mail!
come on albion fans, prove me wrong!!
I’d rather pay the registered post fee and get my tickets.
If this was wolves you’d all be blaming Mad Mick
If this was wolves they wouldn’t be there in the first place.
£4.70 well spent.
If this was a Wolves article the tickets would be given away to the opposition but you would get a free pie and a pint.
If this was wolves ,they would wake up and realize it was all a dream..Dream on dingles.ha ha ha ha ha…
this is going to turn in to another shambles of wembley tickets… you have to register on line to be
able to purhcase your tickets for the first four days… i have just tried logging onto this so called
site to be told no new memberships being given out!!! whats going on?? so you have to wait for the first four days to finish before you can TRY and get through on the phone…now thats going to be fun, also we
have 4 season tickets, but guess what!! only 2 membership numbers which i was assured would not make
any difference to purchasing 4 tickets… now i have to go over to the ticket office to sort out another
couple of numbers before i can think of purchasing tickets!!! anyway off my soapbox!!
COME ON YOU BAGGIES!!!!
Baggieboy i totally agree i myself have attend virtually every home game and most of the away games with my partner,i am not a sth or a member but only a miserly account holder and like i said ive attended a good 90% of all albion games this season does this mean i might not get a WEMBLEY TICKET god i hope not as we had a great day out there last season(result apart)

And everyone has a happy face on,unlike the dingles!!!
Sorry guys - but this happened last year too so i got a membership this year…. Its £10 to be a member and it guarantees you a ticket for the biggest matches.
I don’t have a season ticket, but paid my £10 at the start of the season to ensure I get the tickets I want.
This can’t be a suprise to you now !!
I have just updated my details on line (took 90 seconds) and also linked up a friends and family offer with my mate so we get tickets together. I can now get my ticket on sunday.
There has to be a system - and this seems fair enough to me.
10. I really hope you get your ticket, before the 20,000 ‘arm chair’ fans get in there first, you may not have a happy face on then !
12.season ticket holders will get a ticket.So thats me with a happy face on..
I’m a STH but can’t work out why if we’ve got 24,000 STH, members and corporate customers do we average around 22,000 minus away support 20,000. As usual the pick and choose their games brigade will be out in force for Wembley.
14… I think that 24k includes memebers that pay a a tenner at the start of the season and it gets them tickets for big games (should there be a big enough allocation).
I have no problem with the memebers I have a season ticket so I got mine
THICK wolves fans,,its impossible for the armchair fans to get tickets unlike the play offs dippy ,i tkt per sth this year will stop all that…atmosphere this year at wembley will be awsome,pompy and albion fans make so much noise looking forward to this game….DOING THE DOUBLE THE MOWBRAY WAY,,IN STYLE OF COURSE,,,OH YES
15 Baggieboy.
I see your point but stand by my maths.
I brought my membership because I can’t make all the games and so a ST would be no good for me - however i attend 95% of home games and so I think I deserve my Wembley ticket.
I agree that STH get first go - but then it should be the regular fans and that includes members.
TRB - maybe a % of STH can’t attend all the games but can afford the ticket anyway - but you’re right - it is weird.
what u call a wolves fan at wembley???………..lost
